Grover Norquist. Terrorist Mole

grover norquist(link) has a past woven with radical muslim influences and associations. the
ultra-right winger is in quite a hot spot.

Tracing the History of Grover Norquist's Association with Terror
With the arrest of Grover Norquist's friend and associate Sami Al-Arian as the U.S. head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad the natural question is how
long has Norquist known that he was associated with terrorists.

[quote]Norquist is the founder of the Islamic Institute, a group believed to be funded by foreign governments, Wahhabi Islam(Bin Laden's sect)
elements in Saudi Arabia, and U.S. Muslim groups recently raided by a special Treasury Department task force for funding Al Qaeda and Palestinian
terrorists.A Troubling Influence The Islamic Institute was led by former Alamoudi aide and former AMC staffer Khaled Saffuri. Abdurahman Alamoudi
plead guilty in 2004 to accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Libya in violation of U.S. law and attempting to hide it from the government.
Through his Islamic Institute, Norquist has successfully arranged for groups like the American Muslim Council(AMC) and the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR) to gain access to the White House thanks to the White House's Associate Director of Cabinet Affairs Ali Tulbah, a Muslim, and his
predecessor, Suhail Kahn. At the same time, Tulbah and Kahn excluded moderate American Muslim groups from White House access. Both Tulbah and Kahn
have family ties to extremist Wahhabi religious groups. AMC and CAIR have expressed support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda and are actively
campaigning to waterdown immigration controls, law enforcement, and intelligence gathering.

Grover Norquist is an extreme right wing political activist, a president and founder of Americans for Tax Reform, a former executive director of the
College Republicans, and one of the drafters of Newt Gingrich's Contract With America. His right-wing credentials are impeccable and he sits on the
boards of the NRA, the CFR, and the American Conservative Union.

That he has links with the Islamic far right ought not to be so suprising, as let's face it, they are simply the Islamic world's version of our own
Religious Right here at home, a rather obvious fact that the far right tries it's best to ignore these days (post 9/11).

As for the source article, it comes from a site whose homepage banner headline reads "America is at war with Muslims who read and believe Koran and
Hadith." Not fundamentalists or Islamofascists, but Muslims in general.

And if he's not a right winger, why is he a member (a leader even) of so many right wing organizations?

As for the CFR being "anti-American", here are a few members you might not be aware of:
William F. Buckley Jr.
Dick Cheney
John Bolton
Newt Gingrich
Colin L. Powell
Condoleezza Rice
Donald Rumsfeld
Paul Wolfowitz
Alan Greenspan

A real laundry list of far leftists, eh?

As for the Lenin picture, Norquist got his start in politics due to his strongly anti-communist views. A fascination with Lenin might be a reflection
of the maxim "know thy enemy", no?

As for the CFR being "anti-American", here are a few members you might not be aware of:
William F. Buckley Jr.
Dick Cheney
John Bolton
Newt Gingrich
Colin L. Powell
Condoleezza Rice
Donald Rumsfeld
Paul Wolfowitz
Alan Greenspan

A real laundry list of far leftists, eh?

pretty much. the far left and the far right are nearly identical. the political spectrum is a circle. you can only go so far one way.

anti-american? definitely. they are setting up a dictatorship. you didn't notice?

i actually don't know what to think of this guy and his agendas. he is definitely using his influence to help terrorists. did anyone follow the
link, and actually read the article? it references other articles at the bottom(some dead links, there, hmmmm) which also fiercely criticise this
guy's motivations and connections.

maybe I should be on norquist's side(not because i support terrorists, i don't, but because some of his 'enemies' are my 'enemies', and the
whole thing could be a CHRISTIAN fundamentalist attack on a moderate, 'useful idiot' muslim do gooder). i just don't know.

The author of The 'Wahhabi' Myth outlines the principles of the Salafi creed in an easy to understand manner. Using many different sources, he
carefully presents the arguments of the critics of Salafism and successfully addresses the misconceptions that are contained within these criticisms.
Specifically, he addresses the commonly held belief that Osama Bin Laden is a Salafi/"Wahhabi". He compellingly dispels this myth and unveils the
sect that has provoked Bin Laden to become the leader of a terrorist movement, something that the media has failed to do yet. www.thewahhabimyth.com...

I've not read the book, so I can't comment on how accurate it may be.

However, Saudi Arabia is run by Wahhabis, Bush holds hands with Wahhabis, literally.

I guess it's a sign of friendship in Saudi Arabia, still kinda creepy. But as far as the 'enemy' of your 'enemy', not so sure about that.
